There was a distinctly Silla dynasty feeling to two of the stalls at the London Art Fair in January. Hur Shan’s trademark installations play with the concept of buildings in mid-construction or mid-demolition. Structural pillars are broken in two, revealing their reinforcing steel rods, and we wonder how the building remains standing. Rubble is piled […]

The annual London Art Fair kicks off tonight in Islington, and as usual you won’t have to look far to find Korean artists represented there.

In conjunction with their current exhibition, Double Encounter, I-MYU is holding a seminar and gallery talk with a diverse panel of presenters: the artist, a gallery director, and a hopelessly out-of-his-depth blogger trying not to sound too much like a pseud. The event is on 1 October at I-MYU’s space, 23 Charlotte Road, London, EC2A […]

Wednesday 22 July 2009 A pleasant late start to the morning. Im Jeongae from London’s I-MYU gallery happens to be in town, looking after the show of British artists at the Total Museum. We cruise the Samcheong-dong galleries together as the heat of the day becomes slightly cooler, and the daylight light becomes milkier. People […]
